soulmate indicators in synastry
firstly, if you haven’t already, gather your partners ACCURATE BIRTH TIME as well as your and head over to astro.com to create a synastry chart for you and your partner. add vertex and descending node to the chart!
1. their north node is in your 7H or your north node is in their 7H.
north node represents our purpose and destiny in life and our fate. even karma.
7H is the house of marriage, partnership, soulmate/s
if north node is aspecting personal planets, it also indicates there will be lessons learnt (not straight away, but over time)
to look at what time of lessons you’ll learn; look at whatever planets aspecting the north node and see what house it rules.
for example; you have mars aspecting north node. mars rules scorpio. take a look at what house scorpio is ruling in the chart. in this example, scorpio is ruling your 3rd house so if mars is squaring north node, you’ll notice the relationship triggers your ability to effectively communicate and to be patients and understanding with that person.
so, when you have the point of fate in yours or their 7H, it means you’re destined to be with this person. may or may not be a fairytale romance and may come across as a karmic kind of a connection. this could be with friendships too.
you were destined to learn something from this relationship.
it won’t be a simple or easy relationship. but has a lot of significance.
2. their south node is in your 7H or vice vera
south node indicates destiny or fate but the difference between south node and north node is that south node represents past lives; our older habits, what we come into this life knowing very well.
so, if your south node is in their 7H or vice versa, this indicates you probably had a past life together. very magnetic.
it’s also very significant. you could feel very entangled in someone else’s energy; when you meet someone and they feel very familiar.
also may not be a fairytale ending. you’ll both learn from each other. it’s not very easy but will be very impactful. you both have something to teach each other.
Bonus tip: if you have south/north node in their 12H or vice versa, it has the same effect.
considered as a second descendent
it is a mathematical point. a point of destiny, fate.
wherever it is in your birth chart, or whatever planet it is aspecting (especially persona planets*) means at a point of your life it is destined to happen. e.g vertex conjunct sun means you have a life destiny in terms of identity
if your/their descendent is aspected by 7H ruler.
eg if your synastry chart has a cancer ascendant then, capricorn will be your descendent. saturn rules capricorn. if the vertex point is aspecting saturn, this means you’ll have a significant encounter with this person. especially in a solar return chart
in your synastry chart, you want to be sure your 5/7/8H ruler is aspecting their vertex or vice versa. this indicates a strong, instant connection.
if you have point of vertex in their 7H or vice versa, it indicates you’re soulmates. even if you’re friends or there is not romantic connection, it means you were destined to meet that person.
this connection can be more romantic and playful and less serious or karmic than the first two.
*personal planets are: sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars
4. sun and moon connection
especially conjunction is a great connection but not so much as a soul mate indicator but a pleasant one.
sun represents ego, moon represents emotion
it’s important to look here in your synastry chart to see how well your moon has mixed and mingled with the sun.
though some astrologers point out that this only FEELS like tue love, it has a lot of significance (especially if there are aspects to ground this type of a bond)
venus represents relationships, beauty and aesthetic
neptune represents illusion and fantasy
this connection is to bring in beauty and magic into your life.
venus conjunct neptune/venus trine neptune:
is instant romance. even if a person isn’t normally romantic.
you could be very blinded by the illusion of love. things get lost in translation. you don’t see someone for who they are (not a bad thing) this could become frustrating or disappointing. but if there are other grounding aspects in the chart, you should be fine. make sure you’re both heading in the same direction with the person. it’s good to keep up to date with what you both want in the relationship.
6. moon and pluto aspects
INTENSE EMOTIONS but not necessarily soulmate connection.
moon represents emotional well being and depending on where it is in your chart, if how you feel things
pluto represents death and transformation but also intensity within the soul.
moon trine pluto/moon conjunct pluto:
you FEEL this person. you VIBE with this person and this can be very constructive for the both of you.
a bit of weaker connection
may feel great at first but overtime can become emotionally chaotic. it also depends on ones natal chart.
can be obsessive especially if venus aspects pluto within the chart. fatal attraction. a recipient for disaster. especially if there is an unhealthy moon.
